Beavertails seem to be a Canadian thing - since I'm an out of towner, I wanted to try. According to Google: a beavertail is'a Canadian pastry, specifically a flat, fried dough treat shaped like a beaver's tail, & is often topped with various sweet toppings like cinnamon sugar, chocolate, or fruit. It's a popular Canadian dessert, especially in Ontario & Quebec.'

I got the pistachio nord, which they were advertising. It's pistachio cream drizzled over the chocolate beavertail. It was pretty sweet, but it was also very tasty.

I visited during summer, & it was so hot inside. There was little to no AC. The line seems long, but it goes by pretty quickly. The inside is pretty with some seating.

The beaver tails are very sweet & sugary🙌 They make them pretty quickly so the wait is minimal, also since they are a classic place you really must visit at least once🦫♥?

One of the few remaining locations that hasn't closed up in the last couple of years. Friendly staff, it takes a while to get your queue de Castor since it is made on the spot. But the wait is worth it 😀
